Tea Party

Following in the footsteps of the Boston Tea Party, a political protest on December 16, 1773, during which time colonists defied Britain’s tyranny of “taxation without representation”, the modern tea party movement also seeks to represent a political philosophy of limited government, fiscal responsibility and individual rights. Many organizations, such as the Tea Party Patriots, for example, have worked hard to recruit support for such first principles, promoting conservatism to influence election outcomes.
